01:01:25Kitchen Table MagicnoThis is the first episode in a five part series on the five colors of Magic: The Gathering, White Blue Black Red and Green, better known as WUBRG.
In this episode, we’re talking about the White color of mana with podcaster and MTG personality Michelle Rapp, streamer and commentator Zack Brady, and legendary pro player and champion of white weenie Craig Wescoe.
What are the values of White as color identity in the game of Magic?
What are the game mechanics? Which are the notable cards?
We talk about the history of White and also where we think it’s going in the future of Magic game design.
I hope you enjoy my conversations with Michelle Rapp, Zack Brady, and Craig Wescoe about the color White.
Special thanks to Michelle Rapp, Zack Brady, and Craig Wescoe for sharing their knowledge and insight about the color White with us.
Michelle is on Twitter @ninox_morpork
Craig’s on Twitter @Brimaz4Life
And Zack is on Facebook and Twitch.tv/exatraz
I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode on White. I’ve been playing Magic for over 15 years and I learned so much in speaking with Michelle, Zack, and Craig.
This was super fun. Remember, this is part 1 of a 5 part series. Stick around to the end of this episode to hear a preview of the next episode.

00:52:47Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m talking to the master of Legacy Elves, Daniel Nguyen. Daniel is a Seattle Legacy player who dedicated himself to testing and grinding tournaments.
Daniel’s experience and long history with the game lead to him creating a primer on Elves, which has been standard reading for Magic players around the world.
Daniel talks with me about growing up playing Magic as a kid, and what he’s doing to help preserve Legacy in today’s Magic community.
If you’re going to GP Seattle in April, I’m sure Daniel will be there. (And so will I, come by and say hi)
Go say hi to him. He’s super friendly and knows a lot about Legacy.
I caught up with Daniel the Summer of 2017.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Daniel Nguyen.

TJ is an advocate of Magic streams, and wants to help more players and local game stores broadcast their games on the internet.
TJ is interested in solving the technical challenges that comes along with streaming.
What camera to buy, how to set up your computer, what the overlay should look like, what should the feature match area look like?
TJ believes that live streaming matches with players on the internet builds community because it’s a way for more people to feel like they’re at the game store playing magic.
TJ is also researching ways of integrating cutting edge card reader technology into live streaming to deliver a better viewing experience.
I caught up with TJ in the fall of 2017.

00:53:17Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m talking to journalist, writer, and Jund enthusiast, Keith Capstick. Keith is an editor at MSN.com and also writes for Face to Face Games Toronto that runs Mana Deprived.com.
Keith and I share a love of the modern archetype Jund.
Jund’s not doing so hot these days with that all stupid Tron and Death’s Shadow running around.
Coming up soon is Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan, which will be a Modern Pro Tour, so hopefully Reid Duke can help a homie out and win with Jund.
Keith and I discuss the finer things about Jund, how it’s positioned, and why you should play Jund.
We also discuss how Black Green White, also known as Junk, got it’s name.
I spoke with Keith in the summer of 2017.
I hope you enjoy my Jund-y interview with Keith Capstick.

Keith is an editor at MSN.com and also writes for Face to Face Games Toronto that runs Mana Deprived.com.
Keith and I share a love of the modern archetype Jund.
Jund’s not doing so hot these days with that all stupid Tron and Death’s Shadow running around.
Coming up soon is Pro Tour Rivals of Ixalan, which will be a Modern Pro Tour, so hopefully Reid Duke can help a homie out and win with Jund.
Keith and I discuss the finer things about Jund, how it’s positioned, and why you should play Jund.
We also discuss how Black Green White, also known as Junk, got it’s name.
I spoke with Keith in the summer of 2017.
I hope you enjoy my Jund-y interview with Keith Capstick.

00:50:06Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m talking to Eric Dupuis from Wyrmwood Gaming.
Wyrmwood Gaming is the premier company making expertly crafted wooden deck boxes, dice vaults, and other gaming accessories.
Eric has a background in both carpentry and business, and he shares with us the journey of how Wyrmwood started to how it became a household name today.
All of Wyrmwood products showcase quality lumber from around the world with colors and patterns that naturally occur in the wood.
Wyrmwood then masterfully designs products using ancient and modern techniques.
Eric also talks about a new addition to Wyrmwood’s product lineup, the Prophecy gaming table, available in all different kinds of woods.
I caught up with Eric during the summer of 2017.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Eric Dupuis of Wyrmwood Gaming.

Chessex makes a variety of high quality dice in different shapes, color combinations, and designs. Donald has been in the gaming industry for decades as an avid chess and backgammon player.
Donald cares about the quality of his products and one day decided that he needed to take matters into his own hands and make his own beautiful dice. When he found the right factory in Germany, Donald’s creativity took off with a myriad of designs and color combinations.
For over 25 years, Donald and Chessex has brought fun and quality to the gaming community. I caught up with Donald during the summer of 2017.
You can check out Chessex’s catalog at chessex.com, that’s http://chessex.com. You can find Chessex dice at almost every local game store that sells table top games and Magic: The Gathering products.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Donald Reents, the founder of Chessex.

01:21:07Kitchen Table MagicnoI’m talking to legendary player, Jay Schneider, the creator of the first Burn Deck, popularly known as Paul Sligh Red.
Jay created Sligh Red because it was play tested to beat his good friend Paul Sligh, who ironically was an avid blue player.
In doing so, Jay created the concept of the Mana Curve, which is now a foundation of how Magic is played and decks are built.
Jay also worked for Wizards R&D where he helped play test paper products and had a big role in developing the hugely successful Duels of the Planeswalker game for Xbox.
I’m amazed to hear of Jay’s contributions to Duels of the Planeswalkers as it was a milestone for Wizards of the Coast in their journey to create a widely adopted digital game.
And now that Magic Arena has been announced I hope to see some design elements from Duels.
If you want to read up more from Jay, I’ve included links at KitchenTableMagic.org to his past articles about the original Paul Sligh Red deck.
Please enjoy my interview with the legendary Jay Schneider.

In this very special episode, we’re diving into the Magic community’s spookiest mystery, the Séance Buyout.
Two years ago, reddit user jobs141910 created a post giving users a bounty to purchase and destroy as many copies of Séance as possible.
Then, about a year ago, the same mysterious user offered a reward of $40k worth of bitcoins to whoever pilots a Séance deck to prominence on the Pro Tour.
Joining us today, MTG finance expert Jason Alt joins us to enlighten us on the mystery that is Séance guy.
Then, pro player and renowned deck builder, Zac Elsik talks to us about how to brew up a competent Séance deck.
Then our third guest, joining us from deep in the internet, Séance Guy jobs141910 himself is joining us to answer our burning questions!
I hope you enjoy my interviews with Jason Alt, Zac Elisk, and reddit user jobs141910.

In this very special episode, we’re diving into the Magic community’s spookiest mystery, the Séance Buyout.
Two years ago, reddit user jobs141910 created a post giving users a bounty to purchase and destroy as many copies of Séance as possible.
Then, about a year ago, the same mysterious user offered a reward of $40k worth of bitcoins to whoever pilots a Séance deck to prominence on the Pro Tour.
Joining us today, MTG finance expert Jason Alt joins us to enlighten us on the mystery that is Séance guy.
Then, pro player and renowned deck builder, Zac Elsik talks to us about how to brew up a competent Séance deck.
Then our third guest, joining us from deep in the internet, Séance Guy jobs141910 himself is joining us to answer our burning questions!
I hope you enjoy my interviews with Jason Alt, Zac Elisk, and reddit user jobs141910.

Dan considers all the cards available in the game of Magic to make up the physics engine that governs the MTG universe.
He uses this unique way of thinking to balance the play environment for players.
Dan has a motley crew of spell slinging professionals to help him make sure Kitty Combo doesn’t happen again…
Melissa DeTora, Paul Cheon, Andrew Brown, Ian Duke, Bryan Hawlee, Adam Prosak, and Andrew Veen are the members of the new Play Design team.
Stick around to the end so you can find out how to get a special signed card from Dan Burdick himself!

Richard is fascinated with games and one day asked himself, what happens if not all players have the same deck? Richard tells us that the cornerstone of Magic, the five flavors of mana, was an idea that he thought about frequently and tinkered with in his other games.
Richard shares thoughts on certain cards, his hopes for the future of Magic, and other games he’s proud to have made.

01:39:39Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m speaking with Brian Weissman, former Pro Player known for his creation of The Deck. The Deck focuses on an attrition plan to brutally control your opponent while swinging in with big creatures like Serra Angel, Juggernaut, and Juzam Djinn. Brian’s innovations in deck tech blossomed into what we now know as the “control” archetype and the concept we know as “card advantage”. For a while The Deck was unbeatable and evolved to combat new threats like Necropotence.
Brian’s been playing EDH on Magic Online and he posts his videos with commentary on his YouTube channel. Brian also has a massive collection of Beta Power. So if you wanna see a handful of black bordered Moxen, head on over to KitchenTableMagic.org
I sat down with Brain last fall, I hope you enjoy my interview with legendary Brian Weissman.

00:41:29Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m talking to Melissa Li, former creative writer and world builder for Magic: The Gathering. I caught up with Mel right before she left Seattle. Mel moved to LA and is now a Senior Narrative Writer at Riot Games.
Mel talks about her creative process. New storylines are developed five to ten years ahead. So Mel can’t tell us what she worked on.
But Mel did work on the single player campaign for Duels of the Planeswalkers.
Also! Get on your Vorthos hats!
We talk about some lore and the current storyline with the Eldrazi, Sorin, Nahiri, Innistrad and Nicol Bolas.
Go say hi to Mel on twitter @SMelissaLi
You can check out her blog, EtheriumSculptor.tumblr.com
Mel has some great cosplay and she also makes some cool things like Aether ray guns and spinny thopter cakes.
Special thanks to Zeze Photography for the photo of Mel’s Sarkhan cosplay.
If you want to see them, I have links in the show notes at KitchenTableMagic.org
Check out more of photos by Zeze Photography on Facebook.com/ZezePhotography
I want to thanks and acknowledge Mel again for her work creating worlds for the Magic: The Gathering multiverse.
I’m so excited to see her work in future sets.
Also, best of luck at Riot Games. Hmmm…. I wonder what Riot is going to be doing with a creative narrative writer? Perhaps a new game? Perhaps an MMO in the League of Legends storyline?
Anyhoos, I’m just excited for Amonkhet that’s about to be released.
We’ll all find out soon just how much of a jerk Nicol Bolas really is.
This episode of Kitchen Table Magic is brought to you by Paragon City Games.
Last week, Paragon City Games sent me Die Hard metal dice in Raw Steel Red for a giveaway.
I asked you to comment on my Facebook giveaway post about what you think an up-and-coming game store like Paragon City Games should do to support the players and gaming community.
Your responses are wonderful and I’d like to read a few of them on air.
Paul wrote: I would love to see stores build strong relationships with other stores in the region for scheduling, referrals, and the like. Stores are part of our community and the stronger the relationship between stores the better it is for players.
Robin write: I would have loved some classes on how to make a decent deck, especially how to build one with the cards I have rather than what cards to buy.
James wrote: Be sure to employ a judge or organizer for your events who is friendly, flexible, and sensitive to the broad range of players you will attract. Choose someone you trust and will allow to have the freedom to make store decisions on the fly that serve your customer service needs.
Adrian wrote: Have a series of local tourneys where the prizes are modern staples rather than packs or money. This should keep the hyper-competitive away and attract the more casual crowd.
Jordan wrote: Ask players for input on the events they'd like to see. Hold events at various times throughout the week--not everyone has a schedule that accommodates early afternoon/early evening events.
Many other listeners said that having a good atmosphere is important and also having private rooms to rent out.
And now, for the winner, chosen at random is…. Kate!
Kate wrote: Cater to the younger generation! I see young kids at my local shop all the time, and they get intimidated by the adults who are very serious or exclusionary.
Maybe host game nights for 13 and Unders? Or have easy to play decks on hand so kids can learn to play with their parents or friends without memorizing tons of mechanics.
Congratulations Kate, you are our lucky winner. I’ll be reaching out to send you the RPG set of Die Hard Metal dice in Raw Steel Red.

00:47:00Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m talking to veteran pro player David Ochoa. Last spring, David appeared in his 100th Grand Prix.
David is one of the best players in the game, and play tests with Luis Scot Vargas, Paul Cheon, Josh Utter-Leyton, and Matt Nass.
David writes for Channel Fireball and tweets about food, especially breads and toasts.
He also shares some tips on how to get better at Magic.
Remember what David said, to get better, find a group of players, they’ll help you get better.
And for newer players, find a great place to play Magic.
Having fun in a nurturing environment will make all the difference.
I want to thank Amie Bailey and Gerry Thompson for encouraging David to be a guest on the show.
I met a lot of great people at GP Portland last summer in 2016.
If you want to hear about how a GP is put on, listen to my interview with Tim Shields, Season 2 Episode 201.
At that GP, I was also able to meet Cedric Phillips, Brian Braun-Duin, Christine Sprankle, and JC Tao in person, all of which have shared their stories on Kitchen Table Magic.
I want to take a quick moment to tell you about my friend Brian and the Magic players at Paragon City Games in Draper Utah.
Paragon City Games is an up and coming game store and they’re hosting giveaways every week on Twitch.
They’re giving away lots of cool things, including Die Hard Metal Dice, which are die cast in Zinc and then electroplated with other metals.
Todd makes them with care and craftsmanship.
And because Paragon City Games really cares about building a community of Magic players locally in the Salt Lake City Area, they’re doing many things to give back to the player community.
First, they’re streaming Tuesday night Legacy at 7 pm Mountain, which is 9pm Easter and 6pm Pacific at https://www.twitch.tv/ParagonCityGames
Second, with the recent changes to Grand Prix Trails no longer being held at local game stores, Paragon City Games have decided to award travel vouchers to players at win GPTs at their events.
That is a really awesome way for them to go the extra mile for the last few GPT events available to players in their local community.
Please check out Paragon City Games’ Twitch stream every Tuesday night for giveaways.
It’s an easy way to win some great stuff and watch Legacy.
Links will be in the show notes at Kitchen Table Magic.org.
I want to thank my new Patreon Supporter James!
I surprised him the other night by showing up in person to deliver a bag of those Magic Fish Crackers Brad Rutherford and I were munching on in our deck tech of Abzan Company episode 205.
A lot goes into making Kitchen Table Magic, I want to bring you stores from iconic figures in the MTG community that have never been told.
I want you to know that every dollar you give through Patreon.com/KitchenTableMagic goes into making the show by paying for server costs, audio editing software, and equipment.
And, if we meet our goals, I’m committed to rewarding my Patreon supporters with memorable gifts.

Having fun in a nurturing environment will make all the difference.
I want to thank Amie Bailey and Gerry Thompson for encouraging David to be a guest on the show.
I met a lot of great people at GP Portland last summer in 2016.
If you want to hear about how a GP is put on, listen to my interview with Tim Shields, Season 2 Episode 201.
At that GP, I was also able to meet Cedric Phillips, Brian Braun-Duin, Christine Sprankle, and JC Tao in person, all of which have shared their stories on Kitchen Table Magic.
I want to take a quick moment to tell you about my friend Brian and the Magic players at Paragon City Games in Draper Utah.
Paragon City Games is an up and coming game store and they’re hosting giveaways every week on Twitch.
They’re giving away lots of cool things, including Die Hard Metal Dice, which are die cast in Zinc and then electroplated with other metals.
Todd makes them with care and craftsmanship.
And because Paragon City Games really cares about building a community of Magic players locally in the Salt Lake City Area, they’re doing many things to give back to the player community.
First, they’re streaming Tuesday night Legacy at 7 pm Mountain, which is 9pm Easter and 6pm Pacific at https://www.twitch.tv/ParagonCityGames
Second, with the recent changes to Grand Prix Trails no longer being held at local game stores, Paragon City Games have decided to award travel vouchers to players at win GPTs at their events.
That is a really awesome way for them to go the extra mile for the last few GPT events available to players in their local community.
Please check out Paragon City Games’ Twitch stream every Tuesday night for giveaways.
It’s an easy way to win some great stuff and watch Legacy.
Links will be in the show notes at Kitchen Table Magic.org.
I want to thank my new Patreon Supporter James!
I surprised him the other night by showing up in person to deliver a bag of those Magic Fish Crackers Brad Rutherford and I were munching on in our deck tech of Abzan Company episode 205.

JC won Pro Tour Oath of the Gatewatch with a modern Blue Red Eldrazi deck. And since then, JC has gone on compete in the 2016 World Championships, where he placed 7th.
JC shares with us how to get better at Magic, and what’s it’s like facing off against all those scary elite pros.
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Jiachen Tao.
If you want to become a pro, dedicate time to get the practice in, and take note of your mistakes.
And by making friends with people in the community you’ll gain access to better players that can help you improve.
I also want to congratulate JC and Jess, as they’re expecting a baby soon. Congratulations to the both of you!
If you run into JC at a tournament and he looks extra sleepy, you’ll know why.
If you’re interested in hearing more about the highest levels of Magic competition, listen to my interview with 2016 World Champion Brian Braun-Duin, Season 1, Episode 15.
A year ago I sold 3 Tarmogoys, a Karn Liberated and an extra playset of Snapcaster Mages to fund basic audio equipment and server costs for Kitchen Table Magic.

01:06:09Kitchen Table MagicnoIn this episode, I’m Brad Rutherford, local Seattle Judge and skilled pilot of the modern deck Abzan Company. Brad not only won a Star City Games 5k with it, he won the admiration of Magic players around the world with this fun and challenging deck.
Brad has played in over 1000 sanctioned games of Magic, and has logged over 400 with Abzan Company and a 70% win rate.
When Brad’s not crushing newbs like met at local events, he’s judging as an L2. Brad cares deeply about the community and contributes in every way he can. Whenever I’ve seen Brad judging at GP or a PPTQ, he’s giving it his all.
I hope you enjoy my snack time deck tech with Brad Rutherford!
Thanks for joining me and Brad for snack time!
Brad shares with us detailed write up about Abzan Company. There’s a link in the show notes at Kitchen Table Magic.org.
Also, I’ve got a pic of those spicy fish crackers Brad and I were munching on. Thanks to all the listeners for making it through our snack time with us chewing in your ear. And I didn’t do any audio editing magic on those crunching sounds. They were real.
If you’re enjoying the show please considering becoming a Patreon supporter.

You may or may not have heard, but last weekend premier Magic cosplayer Christine Sprankle made a video asking the community for help.
I auctioned off a NM Force of Will from Alliances that I’ve been saving to benefit her. We raised $100! I want to thank the winning bidder, Michelle for your amazing generosity. The Force of Will has been meticulously packed by yours truly and is on your way in the mail.
Also shout out to Joakim (yo-ah-kim) and Xemit Sells Magic for also bidding. A big thank you to everyone that helped boost the signal with their likes, shares and retweets of the auction.
If you’re a fan of Christine, listen to my interview with her back in season 1, episode 2. I was and still am very honored that she allowed me to interview her for the show.
